Customize your User Portal and Admin Panel with Apps

Helprace Apps is the management center for your Helprace account. Apps allow you to enable or disable the three support components: Knowledge Base, Tickets and Community. Disabled components completely disappears from your admin panel, as well as the User Portal seen by your end users. By default all Apps are enabled.

In this article we'll look at how the Apps work, how to disable and enable them, as well how the web portal looks from your customer's perspective.

Note: You must have the role of Owner or Admin to modify Apps

Turning Apps on / off

By default, Helprace enables all support channels in your account as shown below. This means that end-users will be able to submit requests, participate in the community and read knowledge base articles.

Head to Settings and click on Apps in the sidebar. If the app is enabled it will display a green check mark.

Click on the app thumbnail to see more details about the app. It also shows a green "App is installed" message here, if it is enabled.

Clicking the Install or Uninstall button on this page will install or uninstall the app. Please give it a few moments as it reloads the whole web page after you click one of these buttons.

Apps vs. Community Support Channels

While Helprace Apps control what's visible to your agents and customers when they access your support system, support channels are specific to the Community App.

For example, if you'd like to track customer requests with a ticketing system, offer a collection of knowledge base articles and collect praise, you'll need to enable the following Apps:

Tickets

Community

Knowledge base

Then you must disable Questions, Ideas, Problems from view, leaving only the Praise channel visible in the User Portal. The diagram below shows the relationships between Apps and Channels.

Hiding community support channels from view

You can hide specific channels from view in your User Portal by unchecking "Enable This Channel" in Settings > Community. All data will be saved and accessible in the Admin Panel, however.
